There are as such no guidelines but what I recommend is that you can
check the existing posts on the mail lists and you will get a general idea.

There are a lot of mail lists available, you need to subscribe to the
desired ones, the mostly used ones are
1. pgsql-general
2. pgsql-hackers
3. pgsql-admin

You can go to the following link.
